Hirose DF22 Series of power connectors now comes with DF22B branch adapter, designed to simplify wiring and reduce cabling and installation time. Enables branch wiring and supports up to 30A per contact at 1000V AC/DC with a four-point contact design and highly conductive materials. Offers multiple configurations, straight, right-angle, and in-line wire-to-board, with three housing types featuring different guide keys and color variations to prevent mis-mating in systems using multiple connectors. For harsh environments, a straight header variant supports potting up to 10mm. Is for compact, high-current branching applications such as semiconductor equipment, industrial robots, conveyors, mounting machines and service robots.
Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the LTA 50, an AEC-Q200 qualified 50 W thick film power resistor in a compact TO-220 package designed for direct mounting on a heatsink. Engineered for exceptional reliability in harsh automotive environments, the LTA 50 withstands temperatures up to +175 °C, high humidity, vibration and electrical stress. With resistance values from 0.010 Ω to 450 kΩ and tolerances down to ± 1 %, the device is ideal for use as a precharge or discharge resistor in on-board chargers, battery management systems and motor controls for EV, HEV and PHEV applications. RoHS-compliant and non-inductive, the LTA 50 features a dielectric strength of 1500 Vrms and limiting element voltage of 500 V.

XJTAG has launched two new flash programming solutions, XJExpress and XJExpress-FPGA, designed to give engineers a fast way to program flash memory during development, debug and production. XJExpress is a directly connected in-circuit SPI flash programmer offering intelligent erase, program and verify algorithms that outperform typical cycle times. It supports a wide range of SPI NOR flash devices in serial, dual and quad SPI modes, with robust termination protection and multi-image support. The unit can be operated through a GUI or command line. XJExpress-FPGA extends these capabilities to FPGA and FPGA SoC environments, enabling in-circuit programming of flash memory attached to FPGAs via the JTAG port. Pre-configured by XJTAG for specific FPGA and flash combinations, it achieves programming speeds typically limited only by the flash device itself. Both solutions integrate with the XJTAG ecosystem, ensuring flexibility for bench testing or high-volume production environment.
